JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 12 - 5. Co-ordination chemistry

Given below are two statements : Statement \(I :\) \([ Ni ( CN ) 4]^{2-}\) is square planar and diamagnetic complex. with \(dsp ^{2}\) hybridization for \(Ni\) but \(\left[ Ni ( CO )_{4}\right]\) is tetrahedral. paramagnetic and with \(sp ^{3}\)-hybridication for \(Ni\). Statement \(II :\left[ NiCl _{4}\right]^{2-}\) and \(\left[ Ni ( CO )_{4}\right]\) both have same d-electron configuration have same geometry and are paramagnetic. In light the above statements. choose the correct answer form the options given below:

  1. A Both Statement \(I\) and Statement \(II\) are true.
  2. B Both Statement \(I\) and Statement \(II\) are false.
  3. C Statement \(I\) is correct but statement \(II\) is false.
  4. D Statement \(I\) is incorrect but statement \(II\) is true.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Both Statement \(I\) and Statement \(II\) are false.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\left[ Ni ( CN )_{4}\right]^{2-}: d ^{8}\) configuration, \(SFL,\) sq. planar splitting \(\left( dsp ^{2}\right)\), diamagnetic. \(\left[ Ni ( CO )_{4}\right]: d ^{10}\) config (after excitation), \(SFL,\) tetrahedral splitting \(\left( sp ^{3}\right)\), diamagnetic.…
